Question

An illustration shows Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Games and ranges from 0 to 7 in 1 unit increments. The y-axis is labeled points and ranges from 0 to 250 in increments of 50. The graph is titled Points per Game. A line connects four points plotted on the graph. The coordinates of the plotted points are left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 90 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 150 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 7 comma 210 right parenthesis.

The graph displays the number of points scored and the number of basketball games played. Determine the average points per game.

Answer 1

To determine the average points per game, we can use the total points scored and the total number of games played.

From the graph, the points scored and the corresponding number of games are as follows:

• At 0 games: 0 points
• At 3 games: 90 points
• At 5 games: 150 points
• At 7 games: 210 points

To find the total points scored, we look at the point at the last game (7 games): 210 points.

To find the total number of games played, we use the last point again: 7 games.

Now we can calculate the average points per game:

\[ \text{Average points per game} = \frac{\text{Total Points}}{\text{Total Games}} = \frac{210 \text{ points}}{7 \text{ games}} = 30 \text{ points per game} \]

Thus, the answer is:

An average of 30 points were scored per game.
